Brain Licker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brain Licker is a type of confectionary produced by Spanish company King Regal. Brain Licker is often sold in small, green "deoderant style" bottles, having a ball which revolves when licked to openly deliver its sour liquid content. Although the acid content is about the same as lemon juice, buying excessive amounts as well as excessive consumption can lead to burns, blisters or small cuts in children's mouths. In 2003 the British Food Standards agency issued warnings to parents regarding this as well as possible choking hazards. There are several different flavours of Brain Licker, the most popular of which being strawberry, peach, apple, blue raspberry, grape, blackberry, lemon and watermelon.
